Hello Everybody. I'm one of those part-time writer types, dabbling in anything that catches my fancy on any given day, but I find myself most oftern writing in the horror or fantasy genres, or twizone type stuff. I am a poet as well.

I've been published in The Harrow, Demon Minds, A Thousand Faces, Mystic Signals (issue 1), Ethereal Gazette and on TalesofWorldWarZ.com.

I read quite a bit, having only a few favorite authors, but always on the hunt for someone new, who is doing things in a new way. I respect those who know the rules, and then break them, but that excludes politicians and mobsters.

I believe that the best tales are yet to be told, and without enough venues for folks to show their work, we may never see the best writing that humanity has to offer. Writers, particularly new ones, should be encouraging and helped. It's nice when a diamond in the rough helps out by raising her hand and saying, "I'm here!" but sometimes coaxing is necessary.

I believe in positive reinforcement, rather than outright criticism or fun-poking.

I'm eager to help in any way that my abillity and time allows, so if you need a reader, for example, just ask. But expect me to call in a like favor sometime.

It's a pleasure to be here, and I hope I can be of some service, and I hope to make some new friends.

Growing up in the woods of witchy old Massachusetts, what choice do I have? It permeats everything I do. Former classical actress, ritual dancer, choreographer, lead singer in a Celtic band, I moved to London in 1998 and found my stories. I have never looked back. My inspirations are European, primal, magical, old cities and haunted castles, the innocent encountering darkness. I began as a visual artist in childhood and now paint with words.

I make my living as a psychic---everything goes into the work.

My latest Gothic Faery Tale, Reflection of Beauty, was commissioned for an art exhibition to be held in New York City, Oct 31, based on Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bette. It was edited for a prestigious international art audience. This will be my first published work to be released in April 2011.

I'm just a steel town girl on a Saturday night, looking for the fight of her life. In the real time world no one sees me at all--they all say I'm crazy. . . Oh, wait. That's not me. I'm a fiction writer from kinda-near Philly. (Thank goodness. That other chick sounds like a maniac.)
